Book Description
Donald Wesling, University of California, San Diego.
"...an admirable piece of work. It provides an informative and up-to-date survey of the variety of English spoken..."
Product Description:
This is a non-technical introduction to American
English. The first part consists of a general account of variation in American English. It offers concise but comprehensive coverage of such topics as the history of American English; regional, social and ethnic variation; variation in style (including
slang); and British and American differences.
The second part of the book puts forward an account of how American English has developed its dominance. Intellectual traditions such as puritanism and republicanism are discussed in terms of how they
have shaped the American world view, and have also contributed to the distinctiveness of American English.
